Well it was good in 2004 when it was written

But times and Search Engines move on and Yahoo has refined their technology many times since then.

All you need to know about that site is that it features articles by some of the biggest spammers out there.

Nice article for SEO beginners!

Old information !!

Using copyscape (http://www.copyscape.com) it looks like this article has been around the block a few times.

can we get any updated information on Yahoo optimization?

same as it ever was

Backlinks with good anchor text
Good titles, headers and relevant content

Keyword Density

In SEO labs where the new Yahoo algorithm was examined, it appears that Yahoo gives more weight, compared to Google, to a page that displays more keywords. The study suggests that most of the high ranking pages generally had a higher number of keywords or keyword density in the body and title of the page. Of the top placed pages most had a keyword density of around 10%, however some of the highly ranked pages had a keyword density of around 3%. This was an indication that backlinks with anchor text played a part. Below is a chart of the on page elements Yahoo looks at and the keyword densities that make up the total keyword density of the page:

. Title - 15 to 20% (title tag is one of the more important on page elements for the new Yahoo algorithm)
. Body Text - 3%
. Meta Tags 3%

This may be true if Yahoo would actually take the time to spider beyond my index.php page which they don't even though I've submitted my sitemap to them.

Of course, I only submitted the sitemap a little over 2 weeks ago so maybe I'm being impatient.

Yep, the title and the body text, most important thing
